Funny how you are quite willing to use examples of things that have never actually materialized in any sort recognizable way on screen, and only actually been said by people away from the context of the movies, yet you're willing to write off George Lucas' statements away from the context of the movie. Listen man, there's plenty to not like about these new Star Wars movies, but the truth is you're going out of your way to find more things to hate. 

This thread is the first time in my life where I heard about characters being gay and pansexual and who knows what else. Does Finn ever acknowledge being black or is it ever mentioned in any way (ala Black Panther main villain)?  Is the fact Rey is a girl ever mentioned? I really don't recall.

Hell, I'm personally against pushing agendas for the sake of it, but all of these SJW conspiracy is really stretching it, to say the least.

I'll reply to both of you in the same post, pardon my laziness:

 

@Angelus Yeah, I put in three things that aren't said in the movies, though the first two are indeed front and center for TFA (and the first being even more prominent in TLJ). I never dismissed Lucas' comments, I called attention to how subtle he was in its implementation as opposed to Kennedy having SJW rhetoric lacing every inch of every new character. And for the record: I enjoy that there is diversity in the main cast. Poe being gay works as a great subversion of the effeminate gay archetype. Finn being black rightfully is never really touched upon, and instead focuses on him as a person (a deeply, wonderfully flawed person who had a wonderful character arc that is still fucking unfinished); it never mattered that he was black because there are fat-bottomed blue people with wings that have an immunity to the force. And Rey was a giant dumpster fire of Mary Sue tropes. If they'd stopped her perfection at being an expert-level scavenger (good at fixing, flying, and brawling), she would have been a great character. But nooooo, she's a master in those things and she's a force savant the likes of which Anakin couldn't even compare to. 

 

@morenoingrato Not sure how, unless you just don't follow current events. It was kind of hush when they said Poe was gay (or should be? could be? it was vague), but it was kind of a big deal when they said Lando was pan. No, Finn doesn't need to acknowledge he's black because Admiral Ackbar is a fucking fish and no one cares. I mean, Rey being female it doesn't need to be mentioned, it's kind of apparent. And there is a clear SJW agenda in Star Wars at this point:
